This study investigates the calcifications in the parotid glands of a patient with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A 52-year-old female patient presented for a routine dental examination who found to have multiple radiopacities in both parotid glands on panoramic radiograph. Further evaluation revealed swelling and tenderness in the parotid glands, decayed teeth, and dryness of the mouth and eyes. Ultrasound examination showed enlarged parotid glands with heterogeneous echogenicity, hypoechoic and cystic foci, and multiple calcifications. Laboratory tests indicated positive findings for rheumatoid factor and anti-SSA/SSB antibodies, consistent with a diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome. Treatment primarily focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing clinical manifestations.
本研究调查了一名干燥综合征（SS）患者腮腺中的钙化情况。一名52岁女性患者因常规牙科检查前来就诊，全景X线片显示其双侧腮腺有多个不透射线区。进一步评估发现腮腺肿胀、压痛、牙齿龋坏以及口干、眼干。超声检查显示腮腺肿大，回声不均匀，有低回声和囊性灶以及多个钙化。实验室检查类风湿因子和抗SSA/SSB抗体呈阳性，符合干燥综合征的诊断。治疗主要侧重于缓解症状和预防临床表现。
